Description

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) Technology rely heavily on sensors, such as cameras, radar, lidar, and ultrasonic. These sensors provide external environmental perception around the vehicle as well as some in-vehicle perception.

Furthermore, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), GPS (Global Positioning System), and INS (Inertial Navigation System) are used to locate vehicles. These sensors have numerous applications in ADAS and AD, such as vehicle localization, sensor perception validation, and validation of various ADAS functions in deterministic test sites. Furthermore, GNSS/GPS provide a highly precise time reference clock for synchronizing multi-sensor systems for algorithm development; V2X and V2V applications also benefit from these sensors.

The GNSS/GPS and INS sensors have many non-automotive applications, such as mobile phone navigation and car tracking, rail transport locomotive tracking, aviation aircraft navigation from departure to landing, maritime vessel tracking/navigating ships for precise agriculture practices; surface mining/surveying drones for precise measurements; smart infrastructure applications using drones etc.

For centimeter-level accuracy, advanced technologies are employed, such as DGNSS (Differential GNSS), DGPS (Differential GPS), SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System), GBAS (Ground Based Augmentation System), RTK (Real Time Kinematic), and PPP (Point Precision Positioning). Furthermore, Inertial Navigation Sensors such as Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer can be combined with GPS/GNSS for better localization and accurate measurement when GNSS signals are unavailable.

This comprehensive course encompasses all the technologies mentioned above and provides hands-on practice in measuring real-time GPS and IMU data using low cost sensors with a Raspberry Pi 4 running Python 3.
